Official lyric video for PIXIES track "The Thing", originally released as a b-side to 1990 single Velouria.
Direction and motion design by Michael Speed.
Lyrics:
I was driving, doing nothing on the shores of great Salt Lake
When they put it on the air, I put it in the hammer lane
I soon forgot myself and I forgot about the brake
I forgot about all laws and I forgot about the rain
They were talking on the Nine and all across the Amy band
Across the road, they were turning around and headed south with me
It got so crowded on the road, I started driving in the sand
My head was feeling scared but my heart was feeling free
The desert turned to mud, it seems that everybody heard
Everybody was remembering to forget they had the chills
Then I heard the voices on a broadcast from up on the bird
They were getting interviewed by some good man whose name was Bill
I'm almost there to Vegas, where they're puttin' on a show
They've come so far, I've lived this long
At least I must just go and say, "Hello"
#PIXIES #TheThing #4AD

So unfortunate that this song is so short, playing it on repeat constantly, really wish there was more! Amazing!

I absolutely love the song "The Happening". One of my favorites, although I have so many. I just saw the Pixies in Houston back in June and they were great. I do wish they had played "The Happening", though. They did play "Motorway to Roswell", which I see as a sister song to "The Happening", so at least there's that! Keep making music forever please! I love you Frank! And also Joe, and David, and Pax!
